RE: Burke County, Johns River Landfill
Permit Number 12-03
Third Quarterly Landfill Gas Monitoring Report of 2024
Project 2233479, Phase 04
Dear Mark:
LaBella Associates (LaBella) is submitting the attached methane monitoring results for Johns River
Landfill, Permit Number 12-03. The 2024 third quarter landfill gas monitoring event was performed
on August 6, 2024. During this event, gas probes GP-1S, GP-1D, GP-2S, GP-21, GP-2D, GP-4, GP-5,
GP-6, GP-7, and GP-8 were monitored in accordance with the facility's Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan.
The gas vents in the old C&D-over-MSW waste unit (GV-1 through GV-7) were also monitored.
The facility buildings, including the scale house (GMP-1), the shop (GMP-2), the office (GMP-3), the
shed (GMP-4), the shooting range (GMP-13), and the transfer station (GMP-14) were also monitored
on May 7, 2024, as were ambient air monitoring points GMP-5 through GMP-12. The Additional
Monitored Structure (GMP-15) next to GP-5 was also monitored during this event. The locations of
the gas probes and monitoring points are depicted in Drawing 1. The monitoring data for the gas
probes and buildings are summarized in the attached Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Forms.
Methane was detected above the lower explosive limit (LEL), 5% by volume, in five gas probes: GP-2S
(54.9%), GP-21 (55.4%), GP-2D (56.4%), GP-4 (49.4%), and GP-5 (6.8%). Methane was detected
below the LEL in gas probes GP-1S (0.3%), GP-1D (0.2%), GP-6 (0.2%), GMP-5 (0.2%), and GMP-6
(0.2%). Methane was not detected in any other boundary probes or buildings included in this
monitoring plan. Methane detections and exceedances are summarized in Table 1 and Table 2,
respectively.
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was not detected in any of the probes, ambient monitoring points, or
structures; however, the gas vents (GV-1, GV-2, GV-3, GV-5, GV-6, and GV-7) were not monitored for
H2S during this event. Hydrogen sulfide has historically been detected in the gas vents at
concentrations as high as 10-30 parts per million. These are dangerous concentrations, so
precautions should be taken by any person working near the vents. According to OSHA, the legal
airborne permissible exposure limit (PEL) for hydrogen sulfide is 20 ppm, and 50 ppm is the
maximum peak, not to be exceeded during any 10-minute work period. Hydrogen sulfide levels of
100 ppm and higher are considered immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH).

e
Note that gas probes GP-2(S, I, & D) and GP-4 are not considered boundary probes as they are
located between the old and new landfills; however, GP-5 is considered a boundary probe. Due to
the exceedance in gas probe GP-5, we have included a NCDEQ Environmental Monitoring Report
Form (EMRF) and will forward a copy of this report to Jaclynne Drummond with the NCDEQ Solid
Waste Section. We recommend monthly monitoring of gas probe GP-5 and the adjacent structure
(GMP-15) for the next three months, after which we will evaluate the need for further action.
A copy of this report should be maintained in the facility's records. The next quarterly monitoring
event is tentatively scheduled for the fourth quarter 2024. If we can provide any additional
information, please do not hesitate to call me at [phone]. Thank you.
Respectfully submitted,
